Chuck Yeager passed away today, another aviation legend gone. https://mobile.twitter.com/Gen...150145369444352?s=20 "I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted, and I won't be laid a hand on. I don't do these things to other people and I require the same from them." - John Wayne in "The Shootist" | ||

Rest in peace General Yeager. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Last of that kind, maybe. RIP. He and my father-in-law had similar careers in the Air Corps and Air Force, although Yeager started doing the test pilot gig, while my father-in-law stayed an operational pilot and had some staff jobs. He met Yeager, but didn't really know him. My FIL retired as a Colonel, and Yeager stayed in longer.This message has been edited. Last edited by: jhe888, The fish is mute, expressionless.

He made it to 97. Wow. That would be quite an accomplishment for anyone, but especially him. It's like he went out of his way to avoid dangerous situations. | |||

Serenity now! |
RIP General. Enjoy your reunion with 'Glamorous Glennis'. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice. ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ | |||

Met him at an Andrews AFB air show long ago. He deplaned and walked up to the rope line. My dad was in tears. All honor to that great man. Freewill Firearms 07 FFL | |||

Agreed. RIP. I will try to keep the memory of him in the Right Stuff in my mind as he was hilarious. One of our greatest pilots. RIP sir. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

What a true American hero looked like, and definitely one of a kind. RIP sir, you will be missed. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman. Kurt Schlichter | |||
